Jennifer Lopez paid an emotional tribute to Latin pop icon Selena at the Billboard Latin Music Awards that aired Thursday. Lopez, whose Hollywood breakthrough came after portraying the Grammy-winning singer in a 1997 biopic, sang a medley of the late singer's hits, backed by Selena's former band.

It brought the teary audience to their feet, Billboard says. The tribute aired as fans paid homage to Selena on the 20th anniversary of her death. The New York Daily News says Lopez, 45, embraced Selena's brother and sister, who were part of the band, and called out, "We love you, Selena!"

Selena Quintanilla, 23, was just starting to rise on the U.S. pop scene when the president of her fan club killed her on March 31, 1995.

Prince hopes for a little princess

Is Britain getting a new princess? Prince Charles seems to hope so.

A veteran's daughter says Charles and her dad were chatting Thursday when the prince asked how many daughters he had. "My father said, 'One — and that's enough!' " Lynda Bateman recalls. "Charles laughed and said, 'We're hoping for a granddaughter!' "

Prince William and wife Kate say the gender of their baby — about 21 months younger their first child, Prince George — is a mystery to them. The monarchy and royal fans worldwide are keenly awaiting the birth. Kate said she was due around late April.

Freedom from 'fight of the century'?

Suge Knight could get out of jail this weekend if Floyd Mayweather Jr. wins his boxing match tonight against Manny Pacquiao, his lawyer says. The 50-year-old cofounder of Death Row Records has been behind bars since his Jan. 30 arrest on suspicion of running over two men with his truck. He re-entered a plea Thursday of not-guilty to murder and attempted murder. A trial is set for July.

The attorney said if Mayweather wins, he could cover Knight's $10-million bail, the Los Angeles Times reports. "They're good friends," the lawyer says. Mayweather is favored to win the showdown, dubbed the Fight of the Century. Fox Sports says he could make up to $180 million for fighting Pacquiao, who would get more than $100 million.

Divorce battle takes turn for worse

Rosie O'Donnell's divorce from Michelle Rounds, her wife of nearly three years, is getting downright nasty. Rounds wants full custody of their 2-year-old daughter, Dakota.

The Los Angeles Times says the former "View" panelist, 53, filed for divorce in February. In August 2012, the New York Post's Page Six said the prenup laid out "extremely generous" terms for Rounds, as long as she stayed faithful. Rounds said this week she'd chuck it all "if Rosie will give me full custody."

"I just want my child to have the best possible environment to grow up in, a normal life," Rounds told "Entertainment Tonight" on Wednesday. "I don't want my child to have a 24/7 nanny." That sounds nice, but TMZ says her reasoning was much more pointed in a court filing. She reportedly alleged wine and weed affect her wife's parenting abilities. On Thursday, Rounds denied ever dishing dirt on her famous spouse.

The two adopted Dakota in 2013, after marrying in 2012. O'Donnell has four other children from a previous relationship. A source told Page Six the custody filing is Rounds' attempt to squeeze O'Donnell for money: "She is using the baby as a weapon."
